Clovis smiled. There was a reason for ordering Kanaria to kill. Obviously, his aim wasn’t to kill the Tier 5 spider. Instead, it was the beasts that kept away six people. He wanted them to eliminate all beasts and hurry to join them.
"Clovis. We only have one minute. Another group of beasts has shifted their direction toward us." Melody reported.
He shouted, "People from the Wishe family. Keep blocking one of its legs with Ragna as the center. Aileen, you lead your family and use all the opportunities you will get. Jay, Erwin. You guys will be with me to handle the other leg. We only have one minute to kill this guy!"
"Roger (Understood)!" All of them responded to his command.
"Go!"
Ragna was the first to move. The spider wanted to ignore him, but Ragna stubbornly kept close to him, forcing the spider to hit him.
The three from the Wishe family immediately reinforced Ragna, stopping this one leg.
At the same time, Aileen and the assassins had disappeared, waiting for the opportunity. Clovis, Jay, and Erwin maintained a certain distance so that the spider had to choose between the three of them since it couldn’t protect itself from all angles at the same time.
"Hahahaha. This is not a video game! There’s no need to hold back. We aren’t doing 1v1 here. Just attack him together. He can’t block all of us at once!" Melody shouted excitedly while adjusting their commands in their skyglasses.
The spider swung its other front leg, but this time, wires started wrapping it from behind. At the same time, Jay sneaked in and struck the leg, helping Erwin stop it.
"Kh." Erwin gritted his teeth as he felt two of his fingers get dislocated from absorbing most of the leg’s momentum.
Jay had a hard time stopping it. No, it looked like the spider started overwhelming both of them.
"Clovis." Jay shouted.
The spider suddenly saw Clovis jumping into the air. He swung his long sword at the same area as Jay’s blade with all his strength.
*Crack!*
The hard leg actually cracked once Clovis hit it. However, this shouldn’t be surprising because Melody had been marking the spot that Clovis attacked this whole time. She was giving them the instruction to attack the same spot.
Unable to endure the stress anymore, the leg cracked.
"Aaaaggghhh!" Jay roared, using every ounce of his strength.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Clovis swung his short sword, giving the last push and finally cutting the spider’s leg.
"Sreee!" The spider was screaming in pain. But it would be in much more pain as Aileen and the other assassins appeared on the spider’s back, slashing the body multiple times and jumping away before the spider could react.
At this time, Melody tossed another bomb. The spider tossed its body to the side again, trying to escape from their encirclement as well as avoiding the bomb. The spider knew that another bomb would be dangerous, so it would give everything it had as long as it could escape.
That was when wires circled around the spider. When they were tightened, the bomb also got pulled toward the spider’s body.
Erwin smirked. "Kaboom?"
"Yeah. Kaboom!" Melody pressed the detonator.
"Boom!"
"Scree!" The explosion destroyed a third of the spider’s body. The spider was tilting to one side as the body was losing all its energy.
Right after that explosion, two bullets hit the spider in succession.
The first bullet destroyed half of the head, including its eyes, while the second bullet hit the body.
Seeing that the spider was still moving, Clovis and the others rushed to the spider.
Clovis, Jay, and Aileen struck its head. The assassins from the Risevan family attacked its back while Ragna and the Wishe family were stopping the remaining front leg, completely restraining it from making another attack. Erwin tied all the other legs together, giving them a perfect chance to kill.
Its head was sliced into pieces and the body had numerous holes. After a lot of wounds, the spider finally stopped moving.
"Ha… Ha… Ha…" Ragna noticed that there was no more force on the leg. "Is it dead?"
The three from the Wishe family looked at each other, exchanging nods. "I think so."
"Did we just kill a Tier 5 beast?"
"As well as three Tier 4s and almost a hundred beasts?"
"We won!"
"Uoohhh!"
They were cheering as if they had just won a big war.
Clovis pointed in another direction. "Not yet. There are still a lot of beasts coming toward us. Don’t lower your guard yet."
"!!!" The celebration came to a stop as their bodies froze. The atmosphere turned awkward, but it didn’t matter for Clovis.
"Ragna, Jay. You guys should take a rest for a few minutes. We’ll handle this group." Clovis shouted while staring at the incoming beasts.
The others were screaming just to pump up their excitement after killing a Tier 5 beast as well as erasing the awkwardness from earlier.
However, a figure suddenly flew toward them and hit a building on their right, piercing through three buildings before hitting the ground.
Bam!
All of them were taken by surprise as Albert’s voice echoed in their ears. They couldn’t help but turn their heads toward the dust cloud produced by the impact.
"Kh. I’m just an assassin. How do you expect me to solo this freaking spider…"
"Sir Albert…" Clovis gasped. He hurriedly shifted his vision to the front, finding the giant spider coming toward their direction.
"Ah." Albert opened his mouth in surprise before saying, "We fucked up…"
With the incoming Tier 7 spider, Albert knew that the line wouldn’t hold on. The only thing they could do was retreat. He couldn’t afford to let these youngsters die after all. Although they didn’t buy enough time, the majority of the people must have escaped. It was a shame, but they couldn’t evacuate all of them.
"Ret—" When Albert was about to order a retreat, a rumbling sound echoed through the city. A huge cloud of dust rose from the stone pillar as if hundreds of boulders had just fallen from within.
